about the kernels.. i run on an E350 board, i follow the mainstream kernels, im now at kernel 4.1.0-040100-generic which works fine, bet less cpu load aberage 15% load at 800Mhz compaired to 4.0rc3 i was running. 18% load avg.
but beware. if you going to use a 4.1 kernel, you must add the ppa. : deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kalon33/experim...uff/ubuntu utopic main
which uses libva 1.6.0~pre and mesa 10.4.2, so you can make use of some more advanced kernel things.. what.. google for it..

deadok make also sure you dont forget to install linux-firmware
when i compair my log with yours the x11 log.
i your drivers there.

so you are having a difference in the x11 environment, im having only libva-x11-1 1.6.0 from the ppa above and all the other x11 package are from ubuntu repo.
x11-common 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1 and your running kernel : 3.16.0-41-generic
so i suggest try the following.
- upgrade the kernel to adviced version in the howto, first page on the bottem : kernel version 3.16.7-031607
or upgrade to an newer mainstream kernel, i suggest NOT 4.1, if your not good with linux. choose a 4.0 kernel or 3.19.
- check your x11 versions ( apt-cache policy x11-common )
and if needed, disable the ubuntu-updates and backportes repos and downgrade if needed some packages.
- other thing i experiance once, the vesa drivers in x11 ..
the fbdev and vesa driver in x11 make my kodi also slow.
so i uninstalled all xserver-xorg-video- drivers which i didnt need.
when i look with : dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video
then this is my output, try removing all uneeded and restart kodi.
ii xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1 amd64 X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI display driver wrapper
ii xserver-xorg-video-glamoregl 0.6.0-0ubuntu4 amd64 X.Org X server -- graphics acceleration module based on OpenGL
ii xserver-xorg-video-mach64 6.9.4-1build1 amd64 X.Org X server -- ATI Mach64 display driver
ii xserver-xorg-video-r128 6.9.2-1build1 amd64 X.Org X server -- ATI r128 display driver
ii xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1 amd64 X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI Radeon display driver
then the kernel to advice version in the first post.
and last the packages downgrade, which can be a bit harder to do, since i dont know whats more running..
one extra thing to mention, i rememeber something about a setting in kodi to disable extra monitor outputs.
with expert settings enable, system, video output.
im 100% sure 1 of above contains your solution, because i know your problem, i just dont remeber what exact was the fix, that was about 1 year ago..
and therefore try first disble the other video outputs and then with uninstalling unneeded xserver-xorg-video drivers which is the safest to do.
